Clubs

The Club Sports Program is organized and administered by Recreation & Sports Facilities. It is designed to provide UW-Eau Claire students opportunities to participate in activities in which they may be interested. The focus of the Club Sports Program blends the aspect of learning new skills, practicing with fellow participants, and competing with other clubs. A Club Sport is a recognized University student organization that has been formed by individuals motivated by a common interest and desire to participate in a favorite activity. The Club exists to promote and develop interest in that activity. Its members learn new skills, refine existing skills, engage in competition, and enjoy the recreational and social fellowship of each activity.
